Imagine that our class is a group of soldiers dressed in ragged clothes. It's winter. Snow and ice surround you. A few soldiers have light jackets; some are barefoot. All are hungry, huddled in tents without floors. Badly defeated in the last battle, all you can think of is home. What spoken words could keep desperate soldiers such as yourselves fighting for independence? What could you say to the soldiers to keep them going?
